Echa mandi setelah dia main basket.

• A. Echa had taken a bath after she played basketball.

• B. Echa took a bath after she had played basketball.

• C. Echa take a bath after she play basketball.

Answer explanation

Tentukan terlebih dahulu mana kejadian/aktifitas yang terjadi lebih dahulu, mandi atau bermain basket? Kejadian /aktifitas yang terjadi terlebih dahulu itulah yang menggunakan rumus S + Had + Verb3.

tp jangan hapalin rumus ges, apahami aja, dia ngapain dulu, nah itu yang didahulukan yaa.

nah, kalo ditambah kata "had", itu berarti si subjeknya telah melakukan aktivitas pertama. misal :

"Echa had taken a bath after she played basketball". nanti maknanya jadi "Echa telah mandi setelah ia main basket".

inget aja pokonya setiap perfect past tense itu pasti pake had dan V3. kalo simple past tense itu pake V2 aja..
